A Modification of the Sheverdina-Kocheshkov Amination: The Use of Methoxyamine-Methyllithium as a Convenient Synthetic Equivalent for NH2+

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00135a040

Direct stoichiometric amination of organolithiums can be achieved in high yields by methoxyamine and methyllithium in hexane-ether.The synthetic advantages of this approach are noted.
